Everything You’re Doing is Wrong!

Tuesday, October 24, 2017, 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

A BIA? Don’t do it. Risk Assessment? Skip it. Documentation? Eliminate most of it. For 20 years or more, we practitioners have followed the same best practices. But are they “proven practices”? Could there be a reason that our skills are undervalued by our organizations and leaders? Is there a better way? This session will discuss the emergence of a new, exciting, “Lean” alternative to traditional preparedness planning practices; starting with the drivers behind the need for a sea change and the nine principles of the Adaptive BC Manifesto. This is no mere theoretical discussion — attendees will be challenged to change the way they do planning and given the framework and justifications to get more recognition for their efforts. Attendees will be able to begin to put these principles into practice they day they leave the conference.
